The La Point Bros, owners OF
the Ketchum brick yard, have COM
menced work for the season, and
there is every indication of its be-
ing a busy one tor them. A half
million of brick will be burned as
a starter, though it is more than
probable that many more will be
required. The firm has been burn
ing brick at HALEY also. but are
now meeting with some trouble in
regard to securing yard room, and
it may result that all the brick used
there will be manufactured at the
Ketchum yard. Orders are already
in for the brick to be used in the
construction of the new school
house and Comstock & Clark's new
building, and the firm has the con-
tract for furnishing the brick for
the new Merchants Hotel at HALEY.
In addition to brick a supply OF
the very best of lime can always be
found at the yard and will be furn-
ishd in any quantity desired. The
reputation of Ketchum-made brick
is unexcelled on the River and in
durability far superior to any other
make used.

10 this Popular Resort.

The popularity of the Guyer Hot
Springs as 4 summer resort III no
way diminishes, and with the APP
prOach of warm weather pleasant
memories are revived among those
who in seasons past have enjoyed
the Inequalities of this delightful
retreat. Snugly nestled amid the
mountains that on all sides raise
their chevroned heights far above
it; surrounded in every direction
with the most picturesque OF
scenery, the place presents an at
tractive appearance and seems to
silently invite all that gaze upon
the spot to drive all care away and
seek the quiet and repOse of the
popular resort. The waters of the
Springs, while not a curative for all
the ills that flesh is heir to, affords
speedy relief to many who seek
their use, and when sought in time
often perform an absolute cure of
rheumatism and kindred ailments.
Under the excellent management of
Mrs. Captain Guyer the Springs
have gained not only a fiattering
reputation in the immediate vicini-
ty, but generally throughout South.
ern Idaho, Utah and portion Of
Oregon, and the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, in order to
give every accommodation to in
tending visitors has included the
Guyer Springs in its list of summer
resorts and is now selling tourists
tickets at the following rates for,

The. post Office department at
Washington has favorably consid-
cred the petition sent from here
two weeks ago asking for an in
crease of mail service over the
Dickey mail route to six times a
week. The increased service will
commence on June LIST and con-
tinue throughout the summer and
fall months. Major Hyndman was
very instrumental in securing the
increase of service, going personally
to the department in regard to the
matter, and insisting upon it as a
matter Of justice to the people OF
Ketchum. Stages will leave here
every morning making close con-
nection with the Idaho Stage Line
and passengers by the Dickey route
save fully seventy miles of staging
going to Challis. Bayhorse and
other Custer county towns. Trav-
cling men will find it greatly to
their advantage on their trips to
the upper country to go by way OF
Ketchum.

The planting of Lombardy pop
lar trees by a number of the resi-
dents of town is a good move. This
class of tree is thrifty in growth
and one of the most ornamental
that could be selected. Among
those who have had these trees
planted are Horace Lewis, Clogs
Marlatt, George Mills, l.. ID. New
man, J. F. Jacobs, r. c. West and
VIM. Wells. With a more extern
sive system of irrigation all the
streets of Ketchum could be
adorned with either this or a similar
class of shade trees, and the effect
upon the appearance of the town
would be an agreeable one. No doubt
if sufficient inducement was offered
Judge Lewis could arrange to en-
large his ditch leading from Trail
creek and furnish the necessary
amount of water required.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP
to let it its wonderful qualities be
known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and We consider it the duty of
oil Druggists to recommend it to the
poor, dying consumptive, at least to
try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no enc
case where it failed was reported.
Such q medicine as the GERMAN
SYRUP cannot be too widely known.
Ask your druggist about it. Sample
bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Reg
ular size, IS cents. Sold by all Drug
gists and Dealers, in the United
States and Canada.

Nothing to BO0Ht Of

A sacrilege of the solemnities
surrounding the performance OF
the marriage rite took place on
Wednesday evening at the estab-
lishment on lower Main street,
generally known as "No 49," The
parties to the indecent burlesque
were f. Booth and a courtezan
known as "Miss" Amy, both from
HALEY, and the ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Mr.. Richie. 1t
would have appeared far more
within the bounds of common de-
cency had the couple sought the
privacy Of a clergyman's residence,
or the office of justice OF the
peace to be married instead of act
ing as they did. A man or woman
seeking to rise above the level to
which they have fallen is deserving
of every encouragement in their
effort to lead a better life, but
when void of all shame, they go
out of the way to attract attention
their actions cannot be too strongly
condemned and those assisting in
carrying out their purpose are not
free from severe censure.

arrived from Louisville to take
charge of the property of the com.
pany here. Mr.. Watkins is q prac.
teal mining man and spent several
years in Colorado where he was en-.
gagged in mining. Mr.. Mace Lieber,
president of the company, is still
here, and on Thursday started men
to work on the Amanda, Bertha
and West Point claims. The
Amanda is located on Trail creek
and is looking extremely well. 1t
is expected that a shipment of ore
will be made early next week from
this mine, and the development OF
the other two claims will be vigor-
ously prosecuted. The company
owns seventeen locations in this
district, and will, during the season,
have number Of men employed
on the various claims.
MINING NOTES.
The leasers of the Occidental
mine, in Greenhorn gulch, are get
ting out forty sacks of ore week,
which averages 80 ounces in silver
and go per cent in lead.
A car load of fire clay from Den
yer and another of fire brick ar
rived at the smelling works on
Tuesday. The material is to be
used in putting the furnaces in or
der for the seasons work.
The work Of charging and fum-
ing the water ditch leading from
Warm Springs creek to the smelter
is progressing rapidly. 1t will be
completed in a few weeks.
The lease of Messrs. Carey and
Fulford on the IRVINE mine will
terminate the last of the present
month. They will have about 700
tons of ore to ship as a result of
the strike made in that mine, which
will be brought to the smelling
works as soon as the roads are in
condition for hauling.
Messrs. Kern Il Thompson have
thrown up their lease on that por-
ton of the Quaker City mine known
as the blacksmith level.
Aside from a little timbering
nothing is being done at the Parker
mine at present. With the return
of Professor Jenney it is expected
that the work of exploration will
be again resumed.
Reports from Rocky Bar state
that the Gilmore property is doing
well. The ore increases in richness
as depth is attained, and the mills
are making successful runs.
Frank Beagle brought down ten
ton of ore from the independence
mine, this week, with his pack
train.

OUR WATER SUPPLY.

AJA0AA AACtSAuuA W PAO'AASA "AeA
water works? Not new question
by any means but one that has
been fruitlcssly agitated for q
number of years resulting in nc
steps being taken to give to the
town an efficient supply of water
both for domestic and fire purposes
1t is now stated that capital neces-
sery to build water works here will
be supplied upon the assurance be-
ing given that the investment to be
made will meet with remunerative
return. In other words a certain
per centage on the amount to be
invested in the erection of the pro-
posed works will have to be guar
anteed. All that capital now re-
quires is the certainty of deriving
fair interest and it car be secured
in large or small amounts. The
need of some system of water sup
ply to the town is so plainly mani
tested that no good argument can
be successfully raised against the
project. One question
THAT PRESENTS ITSELF
Is, whether or not a sufficient num-
Der of customers, at rate to ensure
interest on the investment can be
secured. During the past year
Mr.. c. Marlatt has supplied the
residents with water and with the
means at his command has per-
formed efficient service. In consid-
ering the subject of erecting water
work, the claims of Mr. Marlatt
should not be ignored. He has es-
tablishcd a good business, not a
bonanza by any means, but one
that pays him fair living wages in
return for constant hard work and
under some circumstances he could
hold considerable portion of this
patronage against any company
coming into the field. No doubt,
should the Inauguration of more
effective system of water supply of
the town be agreed upon an ar
rangement could be made with him
by which he would dispose of his
business at reasonable sum, take
his pay in stock of the new COM
pany, and in addition his services
could be secured as a superinten-
dent. In one particular alone-that
of having n perfect knowledge of
all who would likely become con-
sumers-his employment would
prove of great benefit, while
HIS GENERAL EFFICIENCY
Is unquestioned. Mr.. Marlatt may
not take such a view of the situa-
ton, and we have no direct means
of knowing whether he would
enter into such an arrangement or
not, but should the proposition to
erect water works assume tangible
shape, it would seem far better for
the new company to act upon the
suggestion rather than risk the
chances by inviting an opposition
that cannot but prove hurtful to a
considerable degree. A perfect sys-
tenn of water supply would add
greatly to the attraction of the
town, increase the value of real es-
tate and by the addition of irriga-
fion bitches give to every one an
opportunity of identifying their
homes with lawns, shade trees and
handsome floral gardens. 1t is to
be hoped that another season will
not be allowed to pass by without
securing this very necessary i'm
proyement to our town.

Oar Weekly Revlew-The West
Fork 0triko-NOtos,

There appears to be considerabl,
of discrepancy in the matter o
rates for smelling ores in Utah anc
Colorado, and on Wood River. TIL,
smelters at Salt Lake do not seen
at all inclined to look with any ia
vor on Wood River ores, not re
quiring them for fuxing purposes
as they can procure lead mucl
nearer home. With the presen,
freight rate and the mode of figur
ing, those having ores for sale will
find Salt Lake a dear market to
deal in. Aside from the usual five
per cent off on silver, a further de.
duction of three cents on each
ounce is made on the New York
quotations. In lead a further de-
duction of two cents is also made,
while at the smelters here the de-
duction OH lead is but half cent,
while the New York quotations on
silver is the standard price without
any cutting down. On ores of any
considerable value, when sent in
large quantities, these deductions
amount to considerable, and would
make the actual working charges
of secondary consideration.
1t seems as though warm weather
had now fairly set in and its adj
vent has stimulated mining affairs
to great degree. Those who have
been holding off on account of the
season are now bestiring themselves
to get out to their mines and COM
mence work. The snow on the
roads leading to the outside dis
tricts is fast disappearing and COM
munication will soon be re-estab-
lished with Smoky, Boulder and
other localities, and the ore accu-
on the dumps during the
winter will be speedily brought to
town.
A number Of new faces now daily
appear on the streets. Many are
those Of miners who are returning
after an absence during the winter,
while others are here looking up
interests and opportunities
for investment. Wood River and
her wonderful mineral resources
have of late attracted general atten-
ton and the continued improve
ment in several of the leading mines
has impressed many with the fact
that better field for investment in
mines could not be found.
The ores of the Minnie Moore
and Idahoan mine have been con-
tracted for by the Omaha smelling
works. The Queen of the Hills
had a contract to deliver one thou
sand tons at Omaha, but did not
succeed in making a contract for
The output of the season. 1t is
stated that the ore from the mine
IS now being sent to the Selby
works in California.
SILVER AND LEAD.
The metal market has remained
firm during the week. Silver,
while not making much of an adj
vance, ruled strong, gaining a point
Or two. The lead market has an
upward tendency and purchases
are being made both on speculative
account and partly to cover current
of consumers. A
amount has been sold
during the week at 81 As and 81 80

THE WEST FORK MINE.

Those who remember the rich
strike made in 1881 at the West
Fork mine, and the large body of
high grade ore then taken out, are
not little interested in the report
current now of another strike hav-
ing been made in the same mine
within the past few days. Refer
ence was made to this report in the
review of last week. Since then the
work has been steadily carried on,
and while as yet the new ore body
found is of no considerable size, it
is sufficient to give prospects of a
large bunch being found, and in
any event will lead to a vigorous
prospecting of the property. This
is the first ore found in the mine in
over five years, during which time
thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended in development work, car
ried on unremittingly at times when
the outlook would have disheart-
ened the most OF men called upon
to furnish the means to prosecute
the work. Additional men were
put to work during the week, and
the latest authentic report from the
mine was that the body of ore was
gradually increasing in width.
AT THE SAMPLER.
Workmen are engaged in build
ing an addition to the Sampling
mill, the enlargement being neces-
sary to accommodate the new ma
chinery soon to be put up, and the
increase of business. The west end
of the mill will be extended dis
lance of twenty feet and an Office
and plate room will be put in the
space between the track and build
ing. The Cornish roll and auto
matte machinery is expected to
arrive here next month.
The receipts at the Sampler dur
ing the week were light, embracing
about eighteen tons from the Elk
horn mine and ten tons of indie
pcndence ore. A lot of ore from
the Allen group of mines is also
cxpected to-day.
